By Myself 1937

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Apr 2005

The party's over, the game is ended,
the dreams I dreamed went up in smoke.
They didn't pan out as intended.
I should know how to take a joke.

I'll go my way by myself,
this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself
love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself
and teach my heart how to sing.
I'll go my way by myself
like a bird on the wing.
I'll face the unknown,
I'll build a world of my own;
no one knows better than I myself,
I'm by myself alone.

I'll go my way by myself,
this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself
love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself
and teach my heart how to sing.
I'll go my way by myself
like a bird on the wing.
I'll face the unknown,
I'll build a world of my own;
no one knows better than I myself,
I'm by myself alone.
